Methods and apparatuses for mitigating an impact of settling times of components in matching networks

A device, comprising:

• a processing system including a processor;
• and
• a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:
• identifying a change in a parameter value associated with an antenna;
• determining a change in an impedance of the antenna based on the identifying of the change in the parameter value;
• identifying a change to a tuning value of a first tunable component of a tuner that is to be enacted based on the determining of the change in the impedance of the antenna, the change to the tuning value of the first tunable component that is to be enacted corresponding to a change in the tuning value from a first tuning value to a second tuning value;
• changing the tuning value of the first tunable component from the first tuning value to a third tuning value during a first transition between states of transmission during a communication session that utilizes the antenna, wherein the third tuning value is between the first tuning value and the second tuning value;
• and
• changing the tuning value of the first tunable component from the third tuning value to another tuning value during a second transition between the states of transmission during the communication session, wherein the first transition and the second transition are non-contiguous.
